How does the skill distinguish between a letter and an academic paper?

The integrated script scans the first few lines for an H1 header or specific keywords like 'Dear' and 'Sincerely' to automatically apply the correct CSS stylesheet.

What fonts are used in the generated PDFs?

The skill bundles the Roboto font family for body text and headings, and RobotoMono Nerd Font for code blocks to ensure consistent, professional typography.

Does this skill require a LaTeX installation?

No, this skill uses WeasyPrint, a CSS-based PDF engine, providing a more modern and customizable alternative to LaTeX for most document needs.

Can I use my own signature for formal letters?

Yes, the skill is designed to look for a signature image in the assets directory and can automatically insert it between the closing and the name block in letter mode.
